LVC-Audio TonedPLUS v1.0.0 (Win / Mac OS X) | 7.3 MBTonedPLUS is a specialized tone shaping plugin with selectable analog modeling. Expanding on the concept of the free plugin Toned, TonedPLUS is designed primarily for use in the mastering process or on two-track audio busses. TonedPLUS uses two distinct equalization processes: a three-band tone-shaping matrix, and a specially designed high pass (HP) filter.

Simple but Flexible EQview of TonedPLUS tone eq controlsThe three-band tone-shaping matrix uses a crossover-style filter bank of first-order filters (-6dB per octave). This type of equalization produces very gentle and broad filtering, with minimal alteration of phase. Very wide boosts and cuts can be accomplished while still sounding natural. This style of equalization also mimics some of the interactions between frequency bands that are commonly found in passive analog EQs and analog tone controls. The tone-shaping matrix can be applied to stereo channels, or switched to mid/side mode. Additionally, TonedPLUS can be switched to use a two-band matrix.

Powerful High PassThe HP filter is specifically designed for accurately adjusting the low/sub bass energy. The filter has selectable Q and roll-off. The scale of the HP controls is specific to low bass, and ranges from 10 Hz to 50 Hz (with accuracy to 0.01 Hz). Just like the tone controls, the HP filter can be applied to the stereo channels, or process audio in mid/side mode.

Analog SoundIn addition to all of the tone and HP controls, TonedPLUS also includes an analog modeling engine to simulate the sound of various hardware devices. Based on the same engine found in PreAMPed, TonedPLUS provides unlimited combinations. TonedPLUS allows the user to select from seven different electronic input coupling types, and five different internal amp types. Each input and amp model contains unique frequency characteristics, saturation, self noise, and other nuances. There is also a feedback control to simulate the effect of using negative feedback within an analog amplifier path.
